Drulle is fascinated by 'origin' and 'future' and wonders if we will ever find out what we are doing here on the planet.
For Beaufort04 he developed 'I can hear it', a gigantic 'listening installation' with two horns facing the sea.
According to the artist, thanks to his installation, you can escape the everyday hustle and bustle and become one with the elements.

You can walk around and touch it. You can listen and observe. The Latvian Ivars Drulle expects the audience to interact with his objects. With I Can Hear It he gives the viewer the chance to step out of the hustle and bustle of everyday life and become completely one with the natural power of the sea. Two enormous horns, resembling those of old gramophones, are facing the sea. At the back you will find a bronze lady on a bench who is listening to one of the horns. There is still one place free on the bench next to her. Feel free to sit next to her and listen to the wind on the beach, the seagulls flying past and the sound of the waves on the second horn.

Artist: Ivars Drulle
I Can Hear It consists of two horns (resembling an old gramophone) pointing out to sea. A woman sits on a bench and listens. You can sit next to her and listen to the second horn. The installation boasts numerous details (the woman's clothing, the horn bolts, etc.) that evoke the Art Nouveau style of the Hotel Bellevue and a time when the coast was still a glittering leisure area.
